Complete tv series (live action) of the tick
Amazon.com:
He's the Wild Blue Yonder, and The Tick is back to show why this outlandishly funny TV series should never have been canceled! After proving his mettle in comic books and animated TV, creator Ben Edlund's blue-insect superhero made his auspicious debut on Fox (in November 2001), portrayed in live action (in a buff-muscled rubber suit) by Patrick Warburton, the popular Seinfeld guest star (as "Puddy"), who instantly perfected the role he was born to play. In his appreciative commentary track, co-executive producer (and Men in Black director) Barry Sonnenfeld calls the pilot episode "the best thing I've ever directed," and it's easy to agree: wide-angle lenses, stylized sets, hilarious dialogue, and a comedically gifted cast make the episode (and the entire series) a perfect summation of Sonnenfeld's wacky style. Edlund concurs, observing that The Tick is "something you get or you don't," and the impatient Fox executives obviously didn't get the show's expert blend of absurdity, stupidity, and good-natured irreverence. They axed the series after eight of these nine episodes aired, only proving that The Tick was too hip for their bean-counting mentalities.
In the title role, Warburton (with highly expressive antennae) hits all the right notes of dimwitted innocence and brute-force gallantry, aided immeasurably by his moth-costumed sidekick Arthur (David Burke), wannabe lothario Batmanuel (Nestor Carbonell), and buxom beauty Captain Liberty (Liz Vassey). Attentive to the more mundane aspects of superheroism, The Tick offers outrageous villains (like the nefarious "Destroyo") and eccentric allies (like Ron Perlman's hilarious "Fiery Blaze") while showing that even crimefighters have everyday problems and desires. Brilliantly conceived and executed, The Tick can now be enjoyed by an audience it never had a proper chance to cultivate. --Jeff Shannon

I am writing this review in an attempt to provide an as accurate and detailed as possible comparison between the animated version of The Tick and the live action series. Until recently, I had only ever heard of The Tick because the live action series was mentioned during the introduction to episode one of Family Guy Season 4. I never gave it another thought, until I learned of the existence of the animated version of this show as part of my on-going quest

Funny, funny, funny. The humor is quick, sharp and silly. If you don't pay attention you'll miss out. If you enjoy Disneys "Cronk" from Emperors New Groove you'll be pleased to see him in his role as the ever brave and righteous Tick!

If you are considering buying "The Tick" and you've read through the other reviews and find yourself confused...please allow me to illuminate a little. This review is for folks who really aren't familiar with "The Tick" and are trying to decide whether it's worth buying or not. Any short comings as far as the DVD set itself have already been well addressed and documented here...this is about the show itself. If you don't know much about The Tick, please read on....

I've always been a die-hard fan of The Tick - that is, The Tick of Ben Edlund's writing. THIS Tick? It's a vile travesty! I knew, within the first fifteen minutes of the live-action pilot, that there was no way on God's green earth that THIS Tick was the one I so loved. When the Tick called the soda machine his "b!+ch", that was IT for me! There was no way that my beloved Tick would've found the need to resort to crass and inappropriate humour to get a laugh - the fact that his humour was so obscure ... Read More
